The box I received was sealed, filled with all sorts of packing paper, and contained one poster tube with the two posters in that tube, three shirts folded together, the hat, and then a plastic bag/envelope that was also sealed tight with tape. Inside that was one envelope with all the stickers and the Christmas 45, and another envelope with the CD's (included a bootleg). No way anything fell out in transit. Also, the box was spray painted with "mystery box" on the outside to look like the image in the shop, and I sort of felt like a dork walking up to my apartment door finding it standing there. Hope that helps.

Great info, thanks! This is exactly what I was after anyway!

My box was complete garbage. I couldn't not be most upset. Waste of money.

Good/expected
-bunch of stickers
-Chicago Tour Poster/2009
-Vancouver, BC Poster/2011
-2012 Europe Tour Shirt (Bomb)

Garbage (will trade/send to anymore if interested)
-The Who Chicago show hat (looks like something a grandpa would wear)
-The Who Chicago shirt (bad quality shirt and again, looks stupid)
-Hail, Hail promo (yes, a one track promo from No Code)
-Brad, Best Friends? CD
-Tres Mts CD
-Live at Benaroya Hall promo (four tracks from the album, nothing exclusive)
-2004 Fan Club 7". (Which I own)

No patches, bootlegs, anything interesting. This doesn't change my love for the band, but it depresses me greatly and makes me wonder if they actually appreciate the Ten Club fans (member since 1999).

Is this a serious post or am I missing the sarcasm?

Some pretty cool stuff in there. Hope mine has that "garbage". Did someone force you to buy the Mystery Box? Your good/expected list equals the cost of the box, so how is that depressing?

no, no one forced me. I just expected something more or different. I was hoping for s a bootleg or two, maybe a patch, socks, anything different.

I truly hope yours looks like mine if that is what you want. It is all in the eye of the behold I suppose. I was able to trade some stuff to other members, so it wasn't all bad.

Also, Bazzer, if the posters are in a tube and they packed the box tight I could see all that stuff fitting into a 2" deep box.

Sure, but 12" long? I've never seen a poster tube that short before! And then the rest of the stuff needs to get stuffed into a space 12" x 6" which is pretty tight considering the kind of hauls people are getting.

Really? They were cleaning out the warehouse. What did you expect? Also, what does how long you've been a member have to do with anything?

my member status means jack and you are right shouldn't. I was just annoyed. Disregard.

DischordVision · May 2014

Lost In Ohio · May 2014

Regarding the Columbus posters:

2003: I had heard that this was a limited run, only because the whole poster craze hadn't really took off yet. I don't even remember seeing one at the merch stands, but then again, I wasn't really looking.... I got the t-shirt with the Riot Act cover art on the front and the cities on the back. I think
you can still get them from Ames:

2010: I have no idea what the hell is going on here. Is it because Do The Evolution was played in 2003 and 2010, making it 2/3 times possible it could have been played it Columbus? (It obviously wasn't yet written in the early 90s.) I think part of it is so bad because the posters usually tie in to the cities somehow.... this one doesn't seem to tie in.

AZMerkinball · May 2014

I got the following (sorry no pics)

2 Posters - Immagine in Cornice and NIJMEGEN 6-27-10
2 Shirts - The white Hawaiian looking one with just PJ and Amsterdam 2012 (red)
Bunch of stickers (Calgary, Wrigley Field, Backspacer, Binaural)
Wrigley Field Patch
Who/PJ Hat
Not For You/Out of My Mind (Vinyl 45)
Single for Wishlist (one track)
Brad cd
Tres Mts. Cd
Philadelphia 2003 Bootleg

Not too bad, would have loved the Built to Last Hoodie and a more recent bootleg. Immagine poster is cool, that Nijmegen poster is not to my liking.

Wish everyone else luck!

CopperTom · May 2014

I'm pumped about the 2003 bootlegs showing up. I am scheduled to receive my box on Tuesday.

If anyone wants to part with their 2003 bootlegs, I'd be willing to purchase or trade for: 5/30 Vancouver, 6/1 Mountain View, 6/7 Phoenix, 6/13 Council Bluffs, 6/15 Fargo, 6/24 Columbus, 7/18 Mexico City

Keep me in mind.

Question for those of you that have received your box. Was a signature required or was it left on your doorstep?

I would be a little bummed with this box too. A couple promos, Tres Mts, Brad? I was hoping everything in box would be PJ not PJ related. And no one "forced" him to buy it so that means he had to love everything in it and can't have an opinion on it?

This would have been a truly excellent opportunity for the band to hook us up with some Mad Season stuff and the buttloads of EV wallets that someone is still sitting on

I wish I would have gotten 2 or 3 of those wallets at the show, use mine everyday and it's holding up good. But it'll wear out at some point I'm sure...

thanks for the support. I was glad I could help some folks out with stickers, promos, that I don't want. I can pay those forward and get a bootleg or two I am looking for.

side note, after the 2000 tour I had a friend of a friend who gave me all the bootlegs for the shows. I slowly got rid of them and now am down to 1. Biggest mistake ever!!!

AndySlash · May 2014

if anyone is disappointed with or does not want some of their box contents and is willing to donate items to a preparty raffle, us folks going to the st. paul show would be happy to take them your hands to use for fundraising purposes. feel free to pm me if you'd like.

Hoccapuk · May 2014

Got mine today, bout the same as everyone else (will post speciffics and possibly pics later)

HOWEVER!!!! BOX WAS DAMAGED!!!!

Cardboard is thin and only one seal of tape. It appears as if one end of the box was crushed causing the tape to break along half the length of the box. Sounds like everything was there as I got the same amount of everything as those who have already posted but one can never tell if anything else was in there. Again, i'll post pics later.

The issue I see is that the box is big and not really filled leaving air gaps that if even lightly tapped, will crush easy...

Otherwise, no content complaints, knew what I was getting content wise

Brane_of_JFK · May 2014

Has anyone gotten a decent (or even semi-rare) poster? I keep seeing the same 5-6 posters, most of which they probably couldn't sell.
